The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Chapter 855 Princess Garo

The first one to arrive at the Tang Sect was Xi Youmi, leader of the Devil Gate.

"Hi, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. What are you doing here? Did you miss me?"

After her identity was exposed, Xi Youmi no longer maintained her guise as a fashion designer. Instead, she started to show the bearing of the leader of the Devil Gate.

Xuanyuan Lige and Qin Zongheng also arrived after a while.

After they were introduced to each other, Xuanyuan Lige looked at Xi Youmi from head to toe. The Devil Gate had been fighting against Cihang Sword House for thousands of years. So it was strange that they could come together peacefully.

Qin Zongheng asked, "Haodong, why did you call us here?"

Qin Haodong told her what he had experienced in the West in the past few days. Then he made a conclusion, "The Alien Demons are very powerful now, so the top priority is to improve our cultivation."

"I've just made a batch of Cultivation Pills, which are very useful for the Saints."

Xi Youmi asked, "The pill sounds good. But will it work for us? If it takes too long to take effect, I'm afraid that we don't have so much time."

Qin Haodong explained, "As its name implies, the Cultivation Pill could help you reach the next stage and you may even break through to the Divine Realm if you're lucky."

Xi Youmi asked, "Really? That's great! Give me one."

Qin Haodong said, "It would be quite impressive if we really reach the Divine Realm, so we'd better go outside and find another place to practice."

The three nodded and followed Qin Haodong to Shenbao Mountain on the outskirts of the capital.

He was very familiar with this place. They came to the top of the mountain and found a suitable place to sit down. Then Qin Haodong gave them three Cultivation Pills each.

One pill was enough to help them reach the late stage of the Saint Realm, but he wanted to go further and helped them break through to the Divine Realm, so Qin Haodong gave them three pills each.

After setting up a formation and a barrier around them, Qin Haodong asked the three to take pills to help them to improve, while he kept guard.

Accordingly, they took one pill first and then reached the late stage of the Saint Realm after an hour. The pill was really amazing.

Then, the three took the other two pills and began to focus on breaking through to the Divine Realm.

Among the three of them, Qin Zongheng was a rare martial arts genius from the Qin family. He had reached the middle stage of the Saint Realm many years ago, so he had the strongest foundation.

Two hours later, he was the first to complete the breakthrough. The surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered around Shenbao Mountain and dark clouds massed on the horizon. Although it was already early winter, they could hear the faint rumbling of thunder.

Qin Zongheng's momentum surged and he finally reached the Divine Realm.

Following close behind, Xi Youmi and Xuanyuan Lige also reached the Divine Realm almost at the same time.

Qin Haodong was quite surprised. He thought it would be lucky if one or two of them could make a breakthrough. Unexpectedly, the three of them reached the Divine Realm together with their solid foundation.

Xi Youmi stood up and said with a charming smile, "Haodong, your pills are excellent. Thank you so much. We're at your disposal now."

Then she came closer to Qin Haodong, winked at him, and said, "Do you have any more of those pills? Could you please give some to our Devil Gate? You should be fair to all of us."

Qin Haodong said, "There are five Cultivation Pills here. Give them to the masters who have reached the Sage Realm. The pills are limited, so please don't waste them."

A flicker of joy crossed Xi Youmi's face. "Thank you very much!"

Then she took the pills, said goodbye to Qin Haodong, and rose into the air.

Qin Haodong also gave Xuanyuan Lige some pills and asked her to distribute these pills to those at Cihang Sword House.

Qin Haodong felt much more relieved after these three reached the Divine Realm. That, plus Kathryn, Lev, and Khorkina, he now had six Divine Realm masters at his command. Even if the Alien Demon Emperor appeared, they still had a good chance of winning!

The next few days were peaceful. Everyone was seizing the time to improve their strength. Qin Haodong stayed in the Tang Sect to help them improve.

A week passed. This morning, Qin Haodong woke up to find the first snowfall of early winter. The whole capital turned white.

After breakfast, his phone rang. Qin Haodong picked it up and found that it was Hua Mingrui, the Tea Fairy.

He answered and Hua Mingrui said pitifully, "Haodong, I heard that you have returned to the capital."

Feeling the sadness in her voice, Qin Haodong was quite flustered. He didn't know how to handle this girl who seemed to have fallen in love with him.

He said, "Yes, I came back a week ago."

Hua Mingrui said, "You've been back for so long, but why didn't you come to see me. Do you still remember me?"

Qin Haodong said awkwardly, "No, I've been busy recently."

Hua Mingrui sighed faintly and said, "This is the first snowfall in early winter. Do you want to drink tea and admire plum blossoms with me?"

Qin Haodong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't bear to refuse her offer. He said, "Okay, where do we meet?"

Hua Mingrui said, "I'll make tea and wait for you in the Plum Garden in the east."

Qin Haodong arrived at the Plum Garden in the east of the city half an hour later.

It was an extremely beautiful place. Next to it was a medium-sized artificial lake. The lake was frozen and was covered with a layer of white snow.

There were plum forests next to the lake. But now it was just winter, so there were only a few plum blossoms. The delicate petals looked particularly gorgeous in the white snow.

A simple tea table and two chairs were placed in the plum forest by the lake.

Hua Mingrui was wearing a fiery red woolen coat with her hair tied up high. She looked delicate and beautiful, just like a fairy from heaven. Men could easily fall in love with her.

When Qin Haodong came over, she had already made a cup of tea. Its strong fragrance filled the whole Plum Garden.

"Haodong, you're here!"

At the sight of Qin Haodong, Hua Mingrui had mixed feelings. She pulled him to sit beside her.

Qin Haodong's expression changed slightly after he held her hand. Then he said, "What a good place this is. There is snow, plum blossoms, and fragrant tea here. It's almost a fairyland to me."

"They're all prepared for you." Hua Mingrui poured a cup of tea for him and said, "You've been back for so long, but you didn't come to see me. I have to invite you to come over here."

Qin Haodong said, "I'm so busy recently."

Hua Mingrui said, "I've been to the Donghui Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but I didn't see you. What are you doing these days?"

Qin Haodong said, "Just business matters. I've been quite busy these days, but nothing big happened."

"Enjoy my tea. But of course, it's not as good as the tea you made."

Hua Mingrui changed the subject and handed a cup of tea to Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong took the teacup, sniffed it, and said, "Yes, you have made great progress in the tea ceremony, and this tea leaf is also of great quality."

"These are leaves taken from the mother bushes of Da Hong Pao. I took them from my grandfather. But he only had a few taels."

Hua Mingrui looked straight at Qin Haodong and said, "Don't just smell it. Try it."

Qin Haodong picked up the teacup and took a sip. He said with relish, "Good tea. It will taste better without the anesthetic powder."

When she heard what he said, Hua Mingrui became so flustered that her teacup almost fell from her hands.

"How did you know that?"

Qin Haodong smiled, "As a doctor, of course, I am familiar with all kinds of drugs.

"The anesthetic powder had no effect on ordinary people, but it is highly poisonous for masters above the Saint level. It could directly kill one's soul. After taking it, the masters would be paralyzed and will be turned into ordinary people."

"But this poison is very rare because it is made from hemp grass, which grows near a volcano and is hard to find. Where did you get it?"

Hua Mingrui said with a complicated expression, "You know who I am, don't you?"

Qin Haodong nodded with a smile.

Hua Mingrui said, "When?"

"Just now."

A flicker of panic crossed her face but she soon calmed down and asked again, "I thought my disguise was perfect. How did you find out?"

Qin Haodong said, "You underestimated the wisdom of the human race."

"On this trip to the west, I found the relics left by Emperor Xuan Yuan, the powerful master of Huaxia. Senior Xuanyuan said that the higher-ups of the Alien Demons were good at changing their appearances, but no matter how they changed, they couldn't conceal their auras."

"To find the hidden Alien Demons, he gave me the finger of a devil general. I was very surprised because I seem to have smelt such an aura somewhere before, but I couldn't remember it then."

"It wasn't until I held hands with you that I suddenly realized that this kind of aura came from you."

"I thought I was a human now, but it seems that I'm still different from you." A trace of loneliness flashed across her delicate face, and then she asked, "Since you have seen through my identity, why are you still so calm?"

"I have to be."

Qin Haodong said, "Your Alien Demons are very powerful. I've met the four great alien demon generals this time in the West, and each of them is as strong as the human masters at the late stage of the Saint Realm. I believe that you must be stronger than them."

Hua Mingrui asked, "Since you know that my tea is poisonous, why did you still drink it?"

Qin Haodong said, "I didn't notice it at first. After drinking it, I found out that the tea was poisonous. I didn't expect you to be so powerful and use this underhand method."

"Isn't that good?"

A look of loneliness flashed across her face once again. "Whether you believe it or not, I've always regarded you as my friend, so I don't want to fight with you. It would be best if you drink the poisonous tea."

Qin Haodong asked, "May I know who you are?"

Hua Mingrui said, "My father is the Alien Demon Emperor, and I am his daughter, Princess Garo."
